Their life
Trần Nhân Tông, born Trần Khâm, lived from 7 December 1258 to 16 December 1308. He was the third emperor of the Trần dynasty and ruled Đại Việt from 1278 to 1293. The reference does not say where he was born or where he died, so those details cannot be confirmed from it.
During his reign, he and his father, the Emperor Emeritus Thánh Tông, were credited with a decisive victory over the Yuan dynasty in the second and third Mongol invasions of Đại Víet. The reference states that this success was followed by a long period of peace and prosperity for the country.
In 1293 he handed the throne to his son, Trần Anh Tông, and from 1294 until his death he held the title of Emperor Emeritus. After leaving rule, he took up Buddhist monastic practice and founded the Trúc Lâm school of Vietnamese Buddhism.
